In praise of nerds

Nerds are those people who wrote software instead of going to parties when they were teens, build numerous things out of constructor kits (or just components), filled their conversations and reading with discussions of the possibilities of science and technology, played with systematized mathematically based models of reality (we call it D&D). Small surprise then that they turn out to be the ones who have a huge advantage when it comes to actually solving the real world problems that we put before them.

An no - I'm not a nerd - I'm an INTJ - which subsumes the class - so I can recognize now much we all need them.
